Single-core benchmark for Linux (terminal)

PQBench_Linux

Simple benchmark which benches your single-core CPU performance using the pq-formula.

Compilation and installation

I am not responsible for any hardware damage, you run this programm on your own risk!

PQBench can be compiled with level 3 optimization using the g++ compiler on linux:

$ g++ -s -DNDEBUG -O3 mainpqthread.cpp -o pqbench

And installed by moving the executable into the bin folder:

$ sudo mv pqbench /bin/pqbench

Or alternatively just run directly in the compilation folder:

$ ./pqbench

Features

PQBench provides following parameters:

-t, 	--time

-cs, 	--check-status

-oc,	--overclocking

-h	--help

Explaination

-t, 	--time (Default active parameter)

Measures the time that has been taken to to make 5*10^10 calculations. The results are displayed in milliseconds, seconds and calculations per millisecond.

-cs, 	--check-status

The --check-status parameter can be used to verify the benchmark is running and not freezing. NOTE: Due to an extra thread running in the background, I recommand to use -t for proper benching.

-oc,	--overclocking

This parameter can be used for realtime overclocking. It displays calculations per second in realtime and these will change during changing any CPU properties (e.g. CPU frequency). NOTE: Due to extra threads running in the background, I recommand to use -t for resonable results (after messing around with your CPU).

-h	--help

It's the --help parameter, what do you expect.

PQBench (testphase) by ZombiDebugWall
Usage: pqbench [parameter]
-t, 	--time				Measures time and calculations per ms [DEFAULT]

-cs, 	--check-status			Shows if test is running properly or freezing
					NOTE: This parameter might reduce performance (Use -t for proper performance testing)

-oc,	--overclocking			This parameter measures calculations per second in realtime, made for realtime overclocking
					NOTE: This parameter will reduce performance due to realtime measurements (Again, use -t for proper performance testing)

-h	--help				print this message
